53 days of no green

Postby John no longer Blaze » Mon May 19, 2008 9:52 pm

53 days off and hopefully I won't be goin green anytime soon. This past week I've been really up and down. Not nearly as down as the first couple of weeks but still the feeling was there. Actually had some vivid dreams which caught me by surprise because it's been a while. It worried me a little, I figured that those feelings would go away at this point. But I'm still here, mind clear, freedom achieved. For the people that have quit for a really long time, I just wanted to ask at what point did you truly feel you changed and turned the corner.

Hmm...
well over the past 10 years I quit 3 things. Weed not included, just never liked the stuff.
I always reminded myself that even without drugs I would have changed, but because of them I was always druged and never really noticed myself change. So one of the things I had to go by, after I quit one of those things, was the way I felt about myself.
Another thing I considered was, if I was scared of the substance afterwards. For example, I dont think people should be scared of alcohol, just because they misused it.
So...I´m not talking about physical addiction, but I would say...if you feel good about yourself, even though you have ups and downs (thats just life) and you realize that it wasnt the drug that did that to you, but your choice of misusing it (just my opinion) then your back to "normal"...whatever normal may be...hehehe

Hey John, For me I felt that I had turned the corner after a couple of weeks - it has been nearly 4 months now. Mate, 53 days is nearly 2 whole months - you are fully on your way to the freedom you have been craving.

I still have really vivid dreams most nights but I believe that is a good thing and a lot of contributors to this forum have reported similar"dreaming" experiences. When I was smoking pot every day I didn't dream at all. I love having dreams every night - they are like little free adventures.

Just soak up all the benefits of clean living - they are more enjoyable than any of the "buzzes" you were getting from using weed. I smoked pot every day for 30 years but now I am SO over it I will NEVER look back !!!
